Kits remain in the care of the colony until two to three years of age. Century plants are flowering plants native to Mexico. Century plants live 10-30 years and flower only once in their lifetime and perish shortly after. THeir giant flowering stalks can reach up to 9m long but they reproduce primarily via suckers. Honeybees live in colonies as large as 50,000 bees. Only the queen lays eggs and lays up to 2,000 per day. The house mouse is a polygamous mammal with the gestation period of about 20 days and a litter size of up to 14. Mice nurse their young until about 20 days.arrow_forwardWhich of the following growth models has a constant instantaneous population growth rate (dN/dt) regardless of population size?
